Blooming Lavender and Blackberry Bushes
The blackberry bushes, lavender boxes, and blueberry bush are doing exceptionally well. But, it’s a race to pick the ripe blueberries and blackberries before the squirrels, rabbits and raccoons can eat them.
Next year, I think I want to fill all the boxes with lavender. It’s gorgeous and smells divine.
My new bonfire peach… I love the leaves.
My new kadota fig tree has over 2 dozen figs.
The Mr Stripey tomato plants are covered in buds. (There are over a dozen per plant.)
There are 4 large clusters of heirloom cherry tomatoes that are almost ripe. I love the green stripes. Should we place bets on the humans vs wildlife game? Will we get to eat them… or will it be squirrels? … or the raccoons?
My lemon cucumber sprouts are growing daily. This was taken a week ago.
(And, they’ve already grown another 4-6 inches.)
Update:
Everything is thriving… except:
Peas (a bit stunted by the heat, I think)
Chamomile and Marigolds (The rabbits are eating them.)
Only 6 artichoke sprouts left (The rabbits are eating them.)
Adding:
Artichoke sprouts that I will try to keep alive through the winter.
